it's called truecar. and truecar users... save time and money. so when you're... ready to buy a car, make sure you... never overpay. visit truecar.com today. and they are working on it. >> bill: the o'reilly factor is on. tonight: >> you can't give people the authorities the right to just stop somebody because of the color of their skin. >> bill: that argument is being used to shut down the police tactic of stop and frisk. tonight we will investigate whether privacy and civility trump safety. >> everybody screaming. i saw the blood all over. the blood on my chest and i start the getting shot more. i mean, i felt some bullets. >> bill: disturbing ruling. linking killer to al qaeda cannot be introduced. we will analyze. also tonight, charles krauthammer on children getting high on marijuana

lou dobbs reporting on my cut backs because of obama care. caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. >> bill: hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. why the debate over stop and frisk is so intense, that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. the privacy of americans under siege, high tech makes it easy to spy on us. and intrusive policies like airport security patdowns are tremendous inconvenience. and then there is stop and frisk. nobody likes being a prisoner in their own neighborhood. but in some places that's what's happening. but the police are not the guilty parties, criminals are. last weekend in chicago, another 6 people shot dead, 28 others wounded, including a 7-year-old boy. the windy city has turned

into afghanistan, so far this year, a 8 children and teens have been murdered. chicago has lost control of the situation. the violence is centered in the poor black neighborhoods and it's the same in most other american cities. here in new york, under the very liberal mayor david denkins, murders were topping 2,000 aer year. then rudy giuliani took over and new policing strategy was put in place under police commissioner bill bratton. essentially the cops flooded the high crime zones, arresting known thugs for just about anything. the plan worked. last year there were just 419 murders in new york. a city of more than 8 million people. one of the tactics police used to discourage thugs from carrying illegal guns is stop and frisk. whereby officers search people they believe may be loitering or look suspicious. most of those frisks are minorities. and that is causing deep anger. >> you can't give people authority where there

civilian or police officer the right to just stop somebody because of the color of their skin. >> bill: that was trayvon martin's mother. a federal judge agrees with her. ruling that the nypd must modify its stop and frisk program. liberals are overjoyed but not so fast. the unintended consequence of a slowdown in stop and frisk could be death the losers if this case is allowed to stand are people who live in minority communities. 97% of the shooting victims in new york city last year were people of color black or latino. >> bill: not only that 8% of the accused killers in new york city are minorities. that's why people of color are under more scrutiny it is beyond belief that people think cops get up in the morning looking to give black people a hard time.

it's based on public data and safety. with that said intrusion. i can't stand the airport security deal. if i was being patted down on my way to the deli, it would not make me happy. and that happens to people of color all the time in this city. there is no pure solution to the probbut the police shoud record why they stop an individual. that is the fair and constitutional thing to do. but throwing out stop and frisk would be madness. just look at chicago. the violence there could be stopped by flooding the zone with police on literally every corner of dangerous neighborhoods. but if the city did that, you would hear the howls of indignation from the racial hustlers who would rather see kids die than admit there is an acute social and criminal problem in many precincts. a very tough statement but it's true. that's the memo. last january, 15-year-old hadea pendleton an honor student was standing in a

park near her chicago home. suddenly, a shootout erupted and the young girl was killed. first lady michelle obama attended her funeral. joining us from chicago nathaniel pendleton the girl's father. first of all very sorry for your loss, sir and appreciate you coming on this evening. >> thank you. >> bill: how do you you see the policing controversy? how do you see it? >> first, i want say stop and frisk against minorities is totally unfair. this isn't just happening black neighborhoods and hispanic neighborhoods. it's happening everywhere and perfect example of that is sandy hook, also. so, the thing is i think tougher gun laws are much better. is a much better deterrent

than just making people, pulling, criminalizing people for what you think this guy may have -- you know. >> bill: look, i disagree with you and you know that and i appreciate you coming on here. it isn't all over the place. not my neighborhood in long island. you don't have drive by shootings and gangs there. two guys charged with killing your daughter were gangsters who were looking to kill other gangsters. this has been going on in certain neighborhoods. not on the gulf coast. not in the suburbs of chicago. it's going on in your neighborhood and going on in poor black neighborhoods. so i say that you flood the zone with police as they have in new york city. the police use the stop and frisk tactic to discourage criminals. to discourage them from bringing guns on to the street. you have seen the

tremendous drop of murder here in new york city. not very different from chicago, by the way. ethnic city. plenty of folks. you have seen it come down from more than 2,000 to 400 it would work in chicago but they simply won't do it because of social pressure. in light of what happened to your daughter, do you think you might reconsider? >> >> i can't reconsider because it could be a lot of innocent, young men being criminalized for walking up the street. >> bill: patted down and alo loued to go on their way. granted it's annoyance and intrusion and you could construe it as an insult. but if you look at where the crime is and where the problems are they are not going to be patting white people down in bloomingdale. >> you don't agree that's all depending on how that officer feels that morning. >> bill: if the officer does. >> just a quick pat down.

but most of the time it isn't. it's, you know, get on the ground. >> bill: are you tell me you don't trust the police. >> i'm not saying i don't trust them. i'm saying that's a lot of power being given to them. >> bill: it sand i agree with you 100%. it's t. is a lot of power given to the individual officers who randomly select people to pat down. there is no doubt about it you are absolutely right. what is the greater good. i feel so sorry for you and your family your daughter was so lovely and was going to have a great life. she was an honor student. there is no way this should have ever happened yet. >> if you use aggressive police statistics has proven in new york city. you will cut this kind of madness down. we have to pay a price sometimes. >> but you know what? i think tougher gun laws would have kept that kid in jail. >> bill: how? you have the toughest gun laws in the country in chicago and illinois. that's not going to stop

the criminals from getting them. >> no, not necessarily. because the thing is, in new york, if you get caught with a gun on the streets, do you three years. >> bill: you have that law on the book in illinois. they just don't enforce it. >> that's the subject. >> bill: you have it? >> that's the subject. >> bill: all right. but, still, if you discourage these thugs from carrying, if they don't carry, then the murder rate goes down. give you the last word. >> i would say putting three years and making examples of them does -- goes a whole lot further than just pulling everyone over saying i'm going to frisk you. don't get knee wrong, you do have your subjects, these police officers know who the guys are that is carrying the guns. it's no secret to it. we just need tougher laws to be able to keep them in jail. >> bill: i agree with you there. absolutely.

mandatories for anyone carrying illegal firearm or anyone carrying one. you might want to check out the ha dediya pendleton foundation. next on the rundown crowley and colmes react to the stop and frisk policy. charles krauthammer reacting to american children and marijuana off the incredible situation we reported on last night in seattl

>> bill: continuing with lead story violence racism and stop frisk. with us are monica crowley and alan colmes. colmes, how would you stop the tremendous violence in chicago. >> like mr. pendleton street buy back program. got 254 illegal weapons off the street. >> bill: buy back. >> registration of guns. more strict gun control. that's what i would do. >> you do realize chicago has the strictest gun control in the country. >> australia and.

>> don't have any people. nobody lives there? >> not australia compared to the united states you basically say that strict gun control. >> correct. >> are you for mandatory sentences for people. >> not for mandatory sentences. >> you would control guns strictly but not in the prison sentence. >> bring the guns in. >> i believe judges need to make individual decisions on individual cases. >> not exactly sure that would solve the problem and you say? >>. no because we see the evidence, bill. the evidence is that major metropolitan areas in this country that have the strictest gun controls in the books like washington, d.c., detroit and chicago. have the highest gun murder rates in the entire country. we also know the converse that in areas of the country where gun control is relatively lax, crime rates go down. an armed society is a safer society. that's a different question than the police in stop and frisk. >> that's not necessarily true. in texas, they have you know, you can carry and it's fairly easy to acquire

a gun legally. but houston is -- you know, it's a dangerous place because you have got a lot of that what we were talking about. the neighborhoods that are out-of-control. that's where all the crime begins. do you believe stop and frisk, colmes, is racial profiling? >> the way they do it in new york is i'm not against stop and frisk and neither is the court. the court way it's being implemented in new york in newark where they're every month putting on line who is being stopped. racial -- what race they are and complete transparency that's the way to do it. and civil libertarians. >> bill: have an officer who stops somebody do what? >> write down how are stopping. write down the race of the people stopping. write down the reason. articulable suspension. >> bill: yont object to that do you object to that. >> if there is is the time and opportunity to do that. >> no, make the time. they have to make the time. >> one part of this policy that nobody is talking about which is the question part. which gets to your point, it's called stop question and frisk.

when the cops pull somebody over or pull somebody off the street and first question them before they actually do the frisk, and, in fact, only half of the people in new york city, the blacks and latinos in particular that they are pulling aside to question, actually go through the frisking part of this. and by the way, the u.s. supreme court 68 sounded found it constitutional. >> bill: she would have thrown it out if she could but she couldn't because the u.s. supreme court already ruled on it. >> not everybody gets frisked. >> you have to it have articulable suspension before you stop somebody. >> they do. >> alisyn: hanging around for four hours. and not. >> bill: 89% of all the accused killers are minorities, where would you -- >> -- i understand the point. >> bill: excellent. >> then write it down and do what they're doing in

newark which is a large black population. >> neighborhood profiling not racial profiling. >> write down the articulable suspension and what and -- suspicion and what you are doing. >> i submit to you if russian shot down young black males are that he this would be flooding the zone in the russian- >> -- 43 reduction in crime since 2002. los angeles, a 0% reduction in violent crime and murders since 2002. >> los angeles under bratton did pretty much what they did here. >> they don't have stop and frisk. >> bill: they don't call did that. >> you are wrong as usual. they call it intervention. street intervention. it's not called -- see stop and frisk. that was a bad pr move. they should not have named it stop and frisk. they should have named it encounter and explain. encounter and explain. then it would have been okay. the municipalities could have went on and explain it encounter and explain. do you have a gun? >> we actually agree with

this even though you say i'm wrong as usual. >> are wrong about l.a., they do the same thing they just named it something else. last one. >> let me point out minority issue. when you talk to most minorities in high crime areas they want stop, question and frisk, because it's their lives. >> the polls say most minorities are for it according to a quinnipiac poll. >> most of the police force going into the high crime areas are also minorities. minorities protecting minorities. >> i am now giving permission for every police department in the united states of america to change stop and frisk to encounter and explain. e and e. >> you are welcome, america. >> i just want to stop the deaths. i feel so sorry for that 15-year-old girl and her family. oh, god. directly ahead. still no one held accountable for the massive benghazi screw up and no bad guys taken into custody. we will have an update on that four. later, why did the judge in the fort hood massacre case refuse evidence of an al qaeda connection? is it legal on that

upcoming.

>> bill: in the impact segment tonight, secretary of state john kerry has announced the four state department officials suspended over benghazi also none of the terrorists involved in that murder have been apprehended after almost a year. because of that three giant billboards are are being put up in speaker of the house john boehner's ohio district saying, quote: if four members of congress were killed in benghazi, would we have a watergate-style select committee today? the ad is being paid by a group called special operations speaks. its political director larry ward joins us now from new orleans. what exactly does your

group want, mr. ward? very simply thanks for covering. this we need a select committee for benghazi. and we need a select committee now. the standing committees that issa so bravely has been putting out there to investigate this committee. they are just insufficient. i think issa and chaffets and even boehner to some respect really want to get to the truth on this. they don't have the dability to do that. >> bill: so you want the house of representatives to appoint how many congress people on her special committee. how many do you want. >> select committee. what it is we need the members of congress to be able to subpoena intelligence. >> bill: you have got to set up a structure. i'm wanting to know what the structure is. so you are going to have a totally different committee. it's not going to be

oversight. it's not going to be any of these. it's going to be totally different committee, right? special committee. >> sure. >> who appoints? boehner appoints? >> boehner would appoint there would be a committee to appoint the members of the committee. >> the committee to appoint the committee? >> look, i don't know the details. >> bill: you guys have got to figure that out because that's important it? >> is important. but most importantly, this is key. is the reason that we can't get the answers for benghazi through the standing committee is they do not have the power to subpoena intelligence. >> bill: you are absolutely right. they don't have that power. but you always going to have. >> more importantly. they don't have the requisite clearance to read the documents that they are subpoenaing. >> bill: but you are always going to get redacted documents from the state department. you know that but they should have subpoena power to bring these people in. so at least the american people know what happened. we don't even know what happened. we can't get any answers on what happened. this is the biggest stonewall that i think i have ever seen this is a

huge stonewall. let's not get ahead of ourselves. have a special committee. boehner has to take the lead because you know because you put the three provocative billboards up in his district. >> he doesn't have to take the lead. >> he has to because it's not going to get anywhere unless he does. >> that's not true. that's where the stockman disdischarge petition comes. in steve stock don member from texas put a discharge commission for house bill 36 which calls for the select committee. what we need is either 218 or one. we need 218 members of congress to sign the stockman discharge petition. we need them to do it as soon as possible or we need one speaker of the house to come to his senses. >> bill: so boehner could do it just by himself but he won't do it. why not? >> you know, you would have to ask him. >> bill: i'm asking you because you are involved in

this situation. why not? >> we have our theories but the truth is. >> bill: give me a theory. >> every single member of congress constitutionally has the right to the highest clearance in government. >> bill: you are dodging my question, mr. ward. i will ask you again. you took three billboards out in boehner's district. you are putting pressure on boehner. he hasn't done it so far. why not? >> the truth is, he believes that the standing committees can get to the truth. i'm saying that he is wrong. and if he thinks that the standing committees can get to the truth, then all we have to look at is what happened in fast and furious. like you said, this is all they got in fast and furious at the end of the day. redacted documents. that's all that they got. >> bill: well, look, there is no doubt about it that fast and furious and benghazi and a number of other things have been covered up. simple as that. >> absolutely. >> mr. ward, thank you very much. let us know what what happens. plenty more as the factor moves along this evening. is american culture

degenerated to a point where children are being corrupted charles krauthammer will analyze that question. is it legal on the judge saying no to evidence of an al qaeda connection in the fort hood massacre case? we hope you stay tuned to those reports.

>> lou's the boss segment tonight, interesting story concerning obama care. franchise businesses like subway, applebee's pappa johns pizza cutting back hours of employees to avoid

obama healthcare law. if an employee works less than 30 hours. forever 21 was also reported to be cutting back all over talk radio and the net but the story is bogus. here now to explain fox business anchor lou dobbs. let's take this clothing company first. this is a big company. forever 21, it's in the malls and all of that the report yesterday and i heard it ton talk radio is that they were going to wipe out a large portion of their employees, cutting them back to 29 and a half hours to avoid paying obama care. that turns out not to be the case, correct? >> not the case at all. you are exactly right. it is by any definition bogus. but the reason they are denying it so vociferously. >> bill: they are denying it. >> forever 21 is because they are getting hit by unions. they are getting hit by left wing activist groups. >> bill: they are scared. they don't want to go up against the obama care -- >> -- exactly. >> zealots. >> exactly. >> he are talking about a

company with $4 billion in sales. the owners are multibillionaires. this is no small enterprise. it's a worldwide. >> bill: they want to sell clothes to liberal people. >> absolutely. >> bill: i mean, forever 21 you can be conservative or liberal if you are forever 21. we here on the factor as you know are pure and we don't play any kind of game like that. >> think of driven snow. >> sure is the word that we are here. so i want to know from you, economic guru, how bad this is going to be in the next four months as far as american business taking full-time employees, dropping them down to part time before the january first deadline? >> it is not only happening in businesses across the country, that is reducing part-time hours to 29 and a half or something below 30 to avoid the impact of the affordable care act, it is happening across relatively

large businesses that are labor intensive. fast food, restaurants, hospitality, in particular. >> right. >> but this is -- this is really an effort right now by forever 21 and other companies to avoid boycotts. >> bill: but the question is we understand that in the fast food industry, because of the turnover is so great. >> right. >> bill: that if you are going to process every guy that comes in and out. every person that works for you and for four months and doesn't on obama care you will drown in paperwork. >> you will drown in paperwork anyway. it's estimated that this will add. >> bill: wait a minute. we assume that this industry is going to do this. they are going to cut down their workers to 29 hours just to avoid the chaos. but, the big corporations, are they going to do it as well? because that will make the unemployment rate. >> you don't have to the big companies, hiring 50 employees or more. president obama just gave them a kiss. you know, they don't have to worry about it until

2015. it was a problem for big companies. let the little guys sweat. >> bill: all right, so they got the waiver for a year. but do you anticipate that the unemployment rate is going to go way up because these people are taking off the full-time rolls? >> to a degree. and the reason is that we're seeing the creation of more part-time jobs than we are full-time jobs. >> bill: they are not counted in the unemployment rate? >> exactly. you lou dobbs guru of business assume unemployment is going to it rise because of obama care? >> it's going to rise in part because of obama care. indeed it does rise. >> that's not going to help the president. >> the president doesn't need any help. >> he is down in 35% approval on economic matters. >> but, bill, six rounds of golf on march that's vineyard? are you kidding me? >> bill: vacation, dobbs, what do you want him to do? >> i don't care. he doesn't need any help --

we don't need to throw him a benefit. >> bill: he is back on the job now, going out and telling everybody how good obama care is. >> by golly i feel better. >> don't be kin kel. when we come right back, the accused fort hood mass murderer had ties to overseas terrorists. why won't the judge allow that evidence into the trial? is it legal will tell us. and then krauthammer on corrupting america's kids is our current political system doing that in those reports after these messages.

thanks for staying with us, i'm bill o'reilly in the is it legal segment tonight, three intense situations beginning with a strange ruling from the military judge in the fort hood massacre case. here now attorneys and fox news analysts kimberly guilfoyle and lis wiehl. wiehl, this guy nidal hasan is charged with a mass murder, he did it. everybody knows that. >> 13 murders. >> bill: have to go through this military trial. the judge says even though he corresponded an email with known terrorists. >> al qaeda members, right. terrorists. >> bill: you can't introduce that as evidence? >> the judge is absolutely right on this. what the judge said is look, you can't bring in really old evidence, back to 2003. >> it's old, okay? >> the evidence is old? >> it's old evidence. >> bill: can't have old evidence. >> we don't have old evidence in new trials when they don't need it. the prosecution has brought an 80-plus witness list. >> bill: not the judge's prerogative to say you don't need it? >> absolutely. here is.

why the judge is looking at the record saying i want to keep this trial as clean as possible. the prosecution is going to win. this guy is going to be convicted. he will look at the death sentence. >> bill: doesn't want any distractions. >> i disagree with that i think the evidence is evidence. if this guy had ties to al qaeda or is trying to have ties, that should be known to everybody. >> judge guilfoyle concurs, you are correct. >> thank you and i usually am. >> it's true though. if it's reasonable it there isn't a reasonable objection that should be sustained on this. it should come in. i don't think it's too remote in time. it's probative. the jury should hear it let the record stand. don't cower in the face of appeal. >> it's not cowering. >> it is. >> the judge is trying to keep the record clean. the judge has has to look at relevance vs. >> relevance? >> let me finish. >> the guy is killing american soldiers nge the priewlings does not have to prove motive, a they don't need. this b. >> i like the all the evidence that is involved in the case. >> of him talking with the taliban. >> you are bloviating, all right?

>> i'm telling the truth. >> for the families of the people who were killed. >> right. >> they deserve to see all the evidence. period. >> they deserve a conviction. >> i don't care if it's inconvenient or old. >> they deserve. >> inconvenient jihad. that's not and you know it that it would not inhibit a conviction. >> true. now, in oklahoma, they had a vote. >> right. a vote. the folks. >> the folks. the folks said no sharia law in our state. now, i was not aware that they were cutting off wrists in tulsa when you shoplifted. >> i know. >> this was a symbolic vote, correct? >> come on o, still, there have been defense attorneys have that have tried to introduce sharia law as a defense. >> bill: in oklahoma? >> in u.s. legal courts. they said they went band we haven't seen it happen here. this doesn't matter. the point is you don't apply international law. the united states has its own set of laws. >> bill: why would they have to vote on that. if that's on the books why would they have street? >> the amendment, the reason why they is getting struck down as

unconstitutional the amendment specifies sharia law singles it out as religion and international. if you excise that portion out. then i believe it would fail. >> if the amendment stopped at the judge shall not consider any international law,. >> bill: including cherie. >> a including but but not excluding. you know, not. >> the folks in oklahoma wanted to make a statement. and that's what. >> so the judge threw the statement out and said you can't single out sharia or islamic law. >> >> i think it's a total waste of time. i don't think anybody even needs it terrible, terrible, terrible case in new mexico. 10-year-old boy, ladies and gentlemen, shoots his father to death because the father was, according to the boy and his brothers abusive. and boy is now on trial wiehl, correct? >> yes. is he now 14 years old. on trial for first degree murder. they are not trying him as an adult. if convicted he will be in jail or some kind of facility until he is 21 years old. this case really breaks my heart. there is a loft evidence that both he and his

siblings were abused not just. >> there is strong evidence that this guy was terrorizing the children in physical ways. >> the boy was trying to get the help, anybody to help and nobody helped the boy. >> let me ask you this, guilfoyle. even though he is he tried as a minor and whatever happens is he going to be out at 21. if i'm on the jury and they can prove that this guy over a long period of time was terrorizing these kids physically, i'm going to it acquit this kid. >> yeah, they are going to have a big problem. this is uphill battle for first degree murder charge. >> why did the prosecution even bringing it. >> to be honest with you there is the evidence. this is the type of case that should go to a jury. however they are charging a first degree. that's very severe in this case. >> bill: wait, wait, wait. weem says there is compelling evidence and physical abuse did you see he that evidence. >> i have read all the reports on it. what i'm telling is you that is something that should be considered and the judge can factor it in at sentencing. >> this is a problem that i have discretion bringing the charges they bring murder one is not appropriate for this boy.

>> bill: should have been manslaughter. >> something. >> counseling. >> i hope the kid is acquitted. >> you don't put a charge out like that. >> you have got to protect yourself. if this was going on as the reports say but they have to prove that so you are right. it should be in the court. let's prove what happened. if i'm on the jury and that was happening, 10 years old. he is off. >> get the boy some help. >> is it legal everybody. krauthammer on deck. is the u.s.a. harming children by embracing libertine policies? charles is next. the boys used double miles from their capital one venture card to fly home for the big family reunion. you must be garth's father? hello. mother. mother! traveling is easy with the venture card because you can fly any airline anytime. two words. double miles! this guy can act. wanna play dodge rock? oh, you guys! and with double miles you can actuay use,

you never miss the fun. beard growing contest and go! ♪ win! what's in your wallet?

charles krauthammer, i think this culture that we have now in america is currently harming children. am i wrong? >> well, it's clear that even -- even in washington state, where they legalize marijuana, they thought it's not a good idea for kids to smoke it. so they actually have a law that says nobody under 21. they also think it's not a good idea for it to be rampant in a way that sort of says anything goes. so, they have a law that says it shouldn't be done in public. so, they even, even they, the most liberal state in the union on this recognize there ought to be limits. the problem with what you showed last night is, they have no intention of enforcing the law. >> bill: that's right.

>> if so, why do you pass the limits in the first place. it's an act of pure hypocrisy and sort of covering yourself. >> bill: i think it's a fraud more than hypocrisy. i think it's a fraud. everyone in seattle knows, including the police who have been given orders not to enforce the marijuana laws on any level. so if you have a 9-year-old toking in the street the cop is going going to go you know sonny be safe. it's a larger picture. in colorado they're going to put in marijuana vending machines? did you know he that? that's coming in colorado. >> well, i will check them out the next time in denver. >> bill: we can be flippant about it but you know what i'm saying that once a child gets involved with intoxication as a psychiatrist you know this, as as a former teacher i know. this once a child gets involved with intoxication of any kind, any kind, childhood is over, their whole life changes and not for the better. and this is what's happening here in america. >> well, look, let me

stipulate a couple of things. number one, alcohol is a lot worse. i have seen what it does as a doctor. it destroys the body. aggression, car accidents, a lot of damage. if i were starting a society from scratch, and had to choose the intoxicant, i would outlaw alcohol and i would allow marijuana. it's besign compared to alcohol. the problem is this, bill. you never start society from scratch. alcohol is ingrained in the culture. we learned that in prohibition. you have to regulate it. and my question is, do we really want to add a second intoxicant onto that? who knows, it leads to other things. look. marn is n marijuana is not the worst thing in the world. there's alcoholism, there's abortion, crime, a lot of other stuff that i think i would -- >> for a child -- >> yes, it does -- >> the message being sent to children is, it's okay. when i was growing up and when you were growing up, all right,

as children now, not, once the vietnam thing kicked in and drug, sex and rock and roll. but as children, we were taught that this was forbidden. it was not a good thing. the exact opposite message is now getting across. and you couple that with what's happening in the entertainment industry, with the rap music and all of this stuff that's coming out of there, and strong, responsible parents can counter it to some extent. but weak parents cannot. and i'm telling you, bourque was right. our culture is actually harming the most defenseless among us, the children. it is. >> but what's odd is that that was the argument made by bourque and many others, especially in the '80s, when this became rampant, but what's interesting is that many of the inices of social dysfunction, like teen

pregnancy, crime, homicide, all these things have gone down over the last 20 years. >> but they've intense phipps in certa certain areas. >> but generally speaking, i agree the culture has become more coarse. there's an effect where the social dysfunction have actually improved. so, i'm not sure we really know the correlation. but i agree with you on the point. you don't want children stoned. you don't want a lot of people in society stoned. i would be very interested. i do think that the states are the laboratories of democracy. and we -- it's interesting that we should study what happens in washington and colorado, because we will see, as it comes in, has this had an effect on addiction to harder drugs, has this had an effect on auto accidents? in an society that everybody is stoned, they're not going to do

very well. competing with other societies, driving the cars in the streets, raising children, being aware and attentive. the worst thing about a stoned child is, they are missing out on the periods of learning, social and moral and educational. they lose thousands of hours of their lives when they need to be developing. and that's what you lose with marijuana. >> all right, charles, thank you very much. appreciate it. back to tip of the day. something that will help children and you. the tip, two minutes away.

tip of the day. a website you should know about, in a moment. but first, thousands of folks are preordering my new book, "killing jesus," out on september 24th. if you become a premium member on now, marcus meyer, uphand california. bill, when you told levar burton test test teacher and that he is a student. thus, it is condescending. well, if it was a stand alone statement, you'd be right, but it wasn't. mr. burton clearly had no idea about black crime stats and that was my argument. that police reaction to young black males is based upon data, not skin color.
